question 214

Essay

If the temperature is constant, then the atmospheric pressure P (in pounds/square inch) varies with the altitude above sea level h in accordance with the law , where is the atmospheric pressure at sea level and k is a constant.
If the atmospheric pressure is 15 at sea level and 13.5 at 5,000 ft, find the atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 15,000 ft. Please round the answer to one decimal place.
__________ How fast is the atmospheric pressure changing with respect to altitude at an altitude of 15,000 ft? Please round the answer to four decimal places.
